Bert & Ernie Reimagined as Ruthless Criminals by Dan LuVisi

Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie have their lives turned upside down in California-based digital concept artist Dan LuVisi’s new pop culture illustration titled, “My Brother’s Keeper.” It’s looks like a rad mixture of Breaking Bad and Taxi Driver. “Ernie, it’s time to cook!”

“Well here’s the story. I imagined Bert as a Marine who left his little brother behind for the Vietnam war. Over the years, Ernie started to turn into a junkie without his brother’s guidance, falling into the wrong crowd and dealing/using with the wrong people—thus making some very bad mistakes.

Until Bert returned, leaving one war, only to fight another for his brother.

Oh man, Ernie. What a psycho.”

“Kirby Patty” is an excellent Illustration by artist Vaughn Pinpin (aka “Hat Boy”) that portrays the small pink puff ball Kirby as a hamburger. In this case, he actually “is” what he eats! Prints, apparel and tote bags are available to purchase on Society6. This guy has such a fantastic style.

I was thinking Kirby should have the powers of a burger whenever he eats one. He’ll have the ability to be delicious. Ooh.
